5-3.24.2 Convergence of Ip and 4p

In Sitajara 1p and 4p have fallen together in the
speech of some persons, but not completely, giving such
anomalous possibilities as jiwsa.n uta.nha, literally ‘our
(4p) house-my', where the person is /jiwsa/ 4p ‘our' in-
clusive, but the possessive suffix is /-nha/ Ip exclusive.
The intended meaning is ‘our (4p) house'. How widespread

this convergence may be is not known at this time.
5-3.24.3 Frozen 3p suffix -pa

The 3p suffix -pa is frozen in certain stems,
most of them containing base forms which may occur inde-
pendently as noun roots but may not take other personal
possessive suffixes. In two cases the base forms without
~pa occur as noun suffixes rather than as roots. Below,

the base forms are given first.
